I have found some success using craftsman resin from any cubic. After a whole series of failed points leading to spills and resin vat film replacements this comes a a relief.

I have also increased the detail level.

Another game of Border Reivers. Played it to the end this time.

Here is the score board!

Mike was last at just under 100. Then Phil, next Darryll and finally Bruce who came first! Well done Bruce.

Nice thematic game but needs a long day to play. 6-7 hours would be enough.

Saturday 29 July. Shadows of Kilforth   Leave a comment

We played Bruce’s new fantasy themed board game. Darryl did best with his silver tongued shape changer, Mike was doing okay until he became an outcast. Bruce was catching up and Phil was floundering after having been defeated by an angry bear on the first turn.

Hopefully next time we can make it further along the campaign quests.

Mike got to use the character play mat to great effect.

Lots of

Lots of LoD played. Mike played our first game and then Link. We are playing through the campaign and now have reached level 3-4 and are headed to cut off the head of the snake behind the Undead conspiracy.

Link has a Warrior and a Rogue. I have a Wizard and a Warrior Priest.

1565 and Lord of the Rings Card Game   Leave a comment

Mike introduced us to 1565 the card game about Malta defending against the Ottomans.

Darryl beat Phil 2-0. The defenders of Malta hardly noticed the invaders who got wiped out on landing and never recovered.

Next we played Lord of the Rings Card Game Angmar Awakened scenario two together. We got off to a tricky start but managed to sort ourselves out by the end. Halbarad got knocked over from Phil’s deck before the end but we did make camp.
